In Love this Spring – Body Shape Heaven!

I sartorially fell in love this week with online fair trade clothing company Bochica. Beautiful pieces, good for the conscience and purse-strings all in one. There’s something for everyone…

In terms of dresses, all the body shapes are catered for. Here’s why:

Boyish:

The structured panels act to compliment the more angular lines of this body shape.

Boyish shouldn’t mean childish – the second dress is a mature look with peaked shoulders for dressing up or down with different jackets.

Hourglass:

These dresses draw attention to the waist which flatters the hourglass body shape. The drapey fabric perfectly compliments as it gently drapes over curves.

Pearshape:

What’s important for this body shape is drawing attention to the shoulders through diverging lines to shoulders, lighter colours, capped sleeves and detail eg . All these dresses serve that purpose plus have the added advantage of minimising attention to hips though no detail at hips and darker colours.

Enjoy!
